I have already made my important 2025 reservations - and have a few points left over.

I was going to pull them forward and head up to smoking mountains this week. I keep getting an error message that there are not enough points available. It's not even offering the option to rent at the $12 per 1000? I thought that was possible or is this something new with bonus time coming?

I am not aware of any changes. It has been a while since I used the express booking window and needed to borrow or rent points. Given the current state of the website, however, I would be more inclined to think you errors are more related to that. There is also a possibility that there has been some repercussions from Hurricane Helene, depending on where you were trying to book.

I find that slightly more than half of the time, if I log out, clear the cache or change browsers and log back on, it fixes the error message and works correctly.


I tried to see if it works for me and if I try borrowing more than I have available for next year, I get the error too but not if I am only borrowing what I have available and then it gives me the option to borrow or rent.
